Scope and registration considerations

  • Relevant event TDDI applications opened on 7 September 2026; CQC advises complete applications by 1 March 2027.
  • Monitoring and enforcement under the new requirements start on 6 December 2027.
  • Existing TDDI providers should review whether registration details and their statement of purpose need changes; the answer depends on the services delivered.

Suggested evidence priorities

These are practical audit recommendations. They are not a claim that CQC requires an identical checklist from every provider.

  • Event-care scope, responsibility and arrangements with organisers.
  • Clinical staffing, competence and supervision.
  • Medicines, equipment and transfer or escalation arrangements.
  • Incident records, handover and communication.
  • Statement of purpose, application evidence and current CQC correspondence.
